Ok, I don't mean to take any of this seriously, but here's
the situation: The canisters are useless without the 'chip,' as far as CTU
knows. So (they) send Jack out to the terrorists with the chip, GIVE THE CHIP
TO THE TERRORISTS, allow hundreds of women and childred to die, just so they
can make sure to get those other canisters, WHICH WOULD BE USELESS WITHOUT THE
CHIP THAT THEY JUST HANDED TO THE TERRORISTS… Can someone help me?

To which commenter Tallulah added:

Jimmyk -- I was thinking the exact same thing, re: if the
terrorists need the chip for the nerve gas to go off, why give them the
freaking chip? At first, I was thinking, surely it's not a chip that actually
detonates the device--it must be a tracking device! But, no! It's the real
thing, and now CTU and Jack have actively participated in giving the terrorists
back a functioning weapon, which they must now move heaven and earth to prevent
from functioning. I don't get it, either.

My own feeling is that the main problem with the canisters
is that they are boring. I've decided I'm going to give this season one more
episode to improve, and if it doesn't, then, dammit, I'm going to keep watching
anyway. Because that's the kind of American I am.

UPDATE: The beautiful woman on House is actually a man!

UPDATE: There's going to be a twist we won't believe.

UPDATE: Oooh. An early stabbing. Good sign.

UPDATE: I have NO idea what's going on so far, but it's violent, which is good.

UPDATE: Does it seem like every 15 minutes, they (a) set up a freaking perimeter, and (b) take Jack back into custody?

UPDATE: I can't put spaces between my updates.

UPDATE: Jack choked his own guy. That wacky renegade loner Jack!

UPDATE: OK, I am experiencing serious technical difficulties with my update capability. I will try setting up a perimeter and downloading the schematics, but you may be on your own for the rest of this episode in the comments section. This is probably a good thing, as I do no remotely understand the plot any more.

UPDATE: I can't be certain, but I think the president is on T-Mobile.

UPDATE: Maybe the Hobbit will shoot Audrey.

UODATE: It's all about oil!

UPDATE: Why is Jack suddenly helping the guy who shot Palmer? Who are the hostiles? WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

UPDATE: I admire how they get excellent phone reception, even inside a building with a hail of bullets.

UPDATE: I have no idea who that guy was, and now he's dead.

UPDATE: Chloe's gonna data-mine the files and keep it under the radar. God, I love Chloe.

UPDATE: The president reminds me more and more of Lincoln.

UPDATE: Why is the Hobbit in such a snit? Does anybody understand that? Or anything else? No? OK, then.

PB...I'm glad to see you! The hell with the canisters; what I want to know is, are you PirateBoy because of your devotion to the FSM? Are you among those who are come (note archaic language) to save us by building up the pirate population?

Hi All,
I would have posted sooner but I had to go through my ritual preparations for the Bauer Hour. First, I squeeze (by hand) a grapefruit, then add a hefty shot of vodka (if I can sneak it, my husbands good Gray Goose, if not Smirnoff will do). Then add a handful of peanuts and I'm ready to suspend all disbelief. Which the way this season is going sometimes means I need a second drink to get me through the last half. See you in the TV room.

I know it's just me, but how would have allowing all of the gas to be released prevented the guy that was ALREADY PACKED AND IN HIS CAR from sitting there and WATCHING TO SEE IF HIS PALS WERE FOLLOWED?
